Carollers @ The Esplanade

Dearest Little Skyler,

Mama and you met up with Aunty Seow Hwee today. It was a very interesting (and educational) experience I think for Aunty Seow Hwee. It seems that she has never pushed a stroller or carried a baby before and it was her first attempt to do both with you. :D

You all shopped around Raffles City and Mama had very little time to catch up with Aunty Seow Hwee because she spent so much time taking care of you. Later in the afternoon, they waited for Papa to come.

After we left Aunty Seow Hwee, we met up with Grandma as we were supposed to go to church to listen to some caroling. We went over to the location after dinner and we tried to feed you while waiting for them to start.

We got there at the stipulated time but slowly realised that that time was actually the start of their rehearsals for the day. So, we stayed there to listen to the rehearsals. After the event started, Mama and Papa decided to go off.

We all went over to the Esplanade as Mama had wanted to bring you around there the whole holidays and we were running out of time. While we were at the main entrance, we saw a sign that said that the ACJC Choir was going to perform carols at the Esplanade so we decided to stay to watch it. As we climbed the stairs to the designated performance area, you decided that you wanted to climb the stairs too! Of course, Mama had to help you up the stairs, but you were so determined to make it up yourself, taking big steps as you went along.

When we got to the top of the stairs, we sat around and waited for them to begin. On time, they came out and they performed several classical and contemporary Christmas carols and songs. They were quite good.

It so happened that the choir mistress was Mama’s school friend whom she had not met for years! It was quite a coincidence.

When the performance ended, we set off immediately as it was getting late and we had to send Grandma home before heading back to ours.

We love you, Little One.

Papa and Mama
